South Coast

A few hours south from Sydney, you'll find a charming strip of unspoilt coastline offering pristine beaches, picturesque seaside towns and quaint rural villages.

The South Coast contains no less than 10 separate national and marine parks. Create your own fun in this wonderful natural environment - whether you want secluded beaches or majestic bushland. There's everything from guided mountain biking to four-wheel drive tours. Each national park has its own special charms from the world's whitest sand beaches and abundant wildlife, to pristine shingle beaches and rugged headlands.

For something completely different, meander through Kangaroo Valley or the quaint arts and crafts villages of the region. Nature lovers can enjoy a whale or dolphin watch cruise, an offshore fishing charter or a leisurely river cruise. For those who can't catch their own, sumptuous fish, crayfish, crab, oysters and prawns are available everywhere.
